Knowing How to Use a Computer Can Be Empowering.

The question often arises whether elderly people who are unfamiliar with computers might become hesitant or discouraged when they attempt to engage in cognitive training exercises. Just the process of mastering computer access, even with just one application, can be a huge confidence building opportunity, which itself boosts brain stimulation. Although elders may need more time, patience and assistance in learning computer systems, many are embracing this new technology. The use of Happy Neuron games via computer is part of the novel experience and learning process that one needs on a daily basis to maintain optimal mental health. It is in itself a cognitive stimulating activity. Furthermore, computers and internet access have been widely argued to be vital to the quality of life of elders. [lien] [EN]

An Interview with Dr. Bernard Croisile, MD.

I thought to share with you a recent interview with Founder Dr. Bernard Croisile, Neurologist, Neuropsychologist and Happy Neuron’s Chief Scientist, about age related brain decline and what can be done. As we age, what issues do people most complain about? When we age, certain cognitive difficulties are usually more annoying than really hindering. These difficulties are usually due to a greater sensitivity to interferences (noise, conversations with several persons), a lesser attention and greater amount of time to simultaneously analyze several pieces of informations (cooking and understanding a slightly technical conversation at the same time). Information processing is often more superficial, organizing and sorting data to be memorized occurs more slowly and producing mental images becomes more difficult. [lien] [EN]

Exercise to get new neurons!

It is now well known that, for rodents, physical exercise is beneficial for brain health. Indeed, mice allowed to freely run on an exercise wheel grow more new neurons that mice not allowed to move freely. Importantly, these new neurons grow in an area crucial for memory formation: the hippocampus. Neurogenesis (the birth and development of neurons) is difficult to estimate in the human brain as there are no way to directly count new neurons… Recently, Small and his colleagues (2007) were able to use neuroimaging to study the effect of physical exercise on neurogenesis in humans. Their study involved a group of 11 middle-aged adults who had been exercising about four times a week, for three months. Results show exercise-related changes in the hippocampus, suggesting neurogenesis in this area. [lien] [EN]

Is Your Brain Happy?

As we know, different parts of the brain are involved in different functions. Just as there are parts of the brain involved in depression, there are parts responsible for positive emotion. Further, mounting research suggests that the adult brain is changeable, or “plastic” as opposed to becoming fixed in adolescence. What this means is that although you may be born with a predisposition toward gloominess or anxiety, with a little training, you can coax a fretful mind toward a happier outlook. It would be like Feng Shui for the brain and mind. The emotional floor plan can be altered so that the brain’s furniture can be moved to a more felicitous arrangement.
